The Week at Springfield.

The biennial report of the auditor shows
that while two years ago there was 5000
600 for the legislature to start upon there
meet any special appropriations outside of
the regular ones. This seeming shortage
arises from the appropriations made at the
last session for finishing the state house
building and for construction OF the
soldiers home, and also from the further
fact that the levy two years ago was half
milli ion less than for former years A no
table thing cleaned from the report is the
Cluseness with which the state collects the
tax due Callecting closer than does the
general government. The table shows
that In 1860 the per cent. of delinquent
tax was 8 95 in 1865, 2.Gi; in 1870, 2,64 ;
in 1875, 519; In 1880, SO; in 1881, lG7 in
1899, III; in 1888, 33, in 1884, 101; in
1885, 0s7.

as to the pattern of ball dress, an
idea may be suggested by an en-
broidered panel, the rest of the dress
being made to harmonize with the
same. A wonderful panel thus sep
arated into costume was formed of
bead fringes arranged into vandykes,
the beads being mixture of pearl and
crystal in Gobelin blue, frightened
here and there with touch of gold.
This panel is truly exquisite, recalling
the effect of moonlight on water. 1t
only needed a little tulle of the same
shade to make it beautiful gown.
Very beautiful was large tunic of
white net covered with pattern of
bearded barley worked entirely in
pearls. These TUNES are even newer
than panels, and they are an instant
establishment to handsome dress.
Flowers form q prominent feature in
many of the ball-gowns. A sash of
scarlet chrysanthemums mounted on
ribbon is very sparkling and novel,
while q garniture of wild roses mixed
with loops of pink ribbon was fit to be
worn by the queen rose of the rosebud
garden of girls. But there seems likely
to be return to simplicity in the ball
dresses of debutantes. High necks and
long sleeves will be seen on them, and

The Emperor Napoleon was most
profuse when he visited England in
1855, but the most magnificent visitor
ever known in the annals of the English
court was the Emperor Nicholas, who,
when he was there in 1874, left $4,000
to be distributed among the servants
of Windsor Castle, while the house
keeper there was given parure of dia-
monds worth $1,000. The six lords
who were waiting during his visit each
received a splendid gold snuff-box with
the Emperor's portrait set in diamonds;
each equery and the grooms in waiting
got similar snuff-box with his i'm
perial Majesty's cipher in diamonds; q
bushel of rings, watches, and brooches
were distributed among minor func-
tionaries; $40. 900 was given in charity.
and 50, 500 for the cup at Ascot, which
was continued annually for ten years.
The most liberal visitor since 1855 was
the King of the Netherlands when he
came over to attend the marriage Of
the Duke of Albany.

She brought with her four magnificent

The night of the Charity ball she had
